#4. Fat men wearing Speedos.
There’s just something that’s so inherently wrong with these men. First off, Speedos are NOT currently in style, so that’s not a reasonable excuse. And don’t give me lip and say that they’re in stylish in Europe, because the last time I checked, we separated from those bitches over 200 years ago. Second, since when did it become okay to wear things that are too small? The ladies who shop at Torrid don’t go around wearing Abercrombie Kids, do they? Why do these fat old men think they can get away with wearing a Speedo? And face it… it’s a fucking Speedo. That’s wrong. Next time these fat fuckers try to fit into something that looks like it came from Baby Gap, I’m gonna accidentally throw my frisbee and see if I can give them a concussion.

I took this picture about 30 minutes ago, on my back patio. There is a lightning storm going on over the mountain, in one small spot. Freaky! And yes, the sky really is that color!!

Another day, another dollar, another post about how California is different than Michigan. But first, I have to tell you all that even though it’s September, it’s still hot. In fact, there is a reasonable chance we’ll break the century mark a couple of days this week. And it still hasn’t rained. In fact, it’s rained only 25% of the average this year, and they’ve started a water alert here in Folsom. But how they handle water here is another post in and of itself.
So I can’t honestly say that I ever remember running into, or even seeing a Scientologist in Michigan. Maybe that’s just not Michigan’s brand of crazy. But since coming to CA, I’ve seen my fair share. They have a location downtown, and they set up a table at the thursday night markets on main street. Most recently they could be found outside Walmart, handing out pamphlets, [...]
Port Aransas is perfect. When you come, just bring yourself and the family. They have everything else you will need for a perfect weekend get-away or a leisurely vacation.
Stress is magically left behind as soon as you drive off the ferry from Aransas Pass and enter small town beach heaven. The town itself seems light years away from the world you came from. With around 2000 permanent residents, Port Aransas is very tourist friendly and easy to navigate. It is like large town square, with shops of all kinds, restaurants to die for, and stunning waterfronts, filled with all sorts of ocean going opportunities.
Motels and condos abound, from the modest to the elegant. So no matter what your budget allows, you’re still in Port Aransas, where the smell of salt air invigorates everyone equally.
The nights are special here, [...]
Vale a pena! Quem gosta de cinema e parques de diversao precisa passar pela Universal (20 minutos de Los Angeles) e Six Flags (40 minutos de Los Angeles). Ontem fomos a Universal conhecer mais como sao feitos os filmes e virar crianca. Estou apaixonada pelo simulador do Simpsons (voce faz uma “viagem” por Springfield que parece a abertura do programa), ainda odiando a Casa do Terror (sim, passamos tanto medo que caimos no chao quando estavamos fugindo de um sei-la-o-que que estava la para nos assustar. E conseguiu!) e querendo mais do Jurassick Park (nao dei nada pelo brinquedo e foi o unico que me fez sentir frio na barriga).
Alem disso, o tour pelos estudios eh muito legal. Voce ve de perto os cenarios de alguns filmes (como Psicose) e conhece alguns efeitos de filmes como Tubarao, Jurassick Park, Mumia… eh demais! Muito muito legal. O lugar eh para ficar [...]
Pode esquecer todo glamour (se um dia voce pensou assim) de Los Angeles. A cidade esta decadente. Quem gosta do lugar vai nos odiar, mas… vamos la.
Hollywood - se algum dia o lugar teve glamour, foi no passado. Hoje a regiao esta suja e sem conservacao alguma. O Kodak Theatre eh nada perto, por exemplo, do Teatro Abril em Sao Paulo. Dentro, ate o chao eh feio. Em frente, um monte de gente fantasiada para ganhar um trocado. Ja que estamos aqui - tirei foto com o Coringa. Pela foto, voce tem de deixar qualquer trocado. E eh melhor deixar porque eles ficam bem putos e fazem questao de dizer bem alto que aquele eh o trabalho deles e temos de pagar.
A calcada da fama perde para a da avenida Paulista. Estreita e, entre uma estrela e outra, um monte de camelo. Assim nao ha glamour que resista! [...]
Afe! Que calor… viagem boa e corrida impede qualquer um de entrar na internet. Quero viver de viagem boa e corrida. Enfim, vamos atualizar.
Grand Canyon - genial! Compramos tiquetes para conhecer o Grand Canyon de helicoptero. Ver tudo la do alto e voar pelo Grand Canyon eh fantastico. Mas leve o protetor, bone e va com roupa mais do que leve - pegamos 45º. E mais uma vez sem sombra. A viagem dura o dia todo. Saimos de Las Vegas as 6h e chegamos ao Grand Canyon quase 11h. Dica: nao economize no helicoptero. Se for para la, compre um tiquete e faca o tour com helicoptero. Fica, em media, 100 dolares mais caro, mas eh um dinheiro muito bem gasto.
Ghost town - no caminho para Los Angeles paramos em Ghost Town. Detalhe: era noite, as tres cansadas demais e a cidade era um vazio. Medo? Muito! Paramos em um [...]
up at 9am hungry but a little exhausted from yesterday’s sojourn into the north shore… but an inner energy is buzzing… need to be wise with the way i treat my body… the signs are showing, raised temperature, dry mouth and a lagging feeling… drink up on liquids and rest today… no beach, no blazing sun for a day now… so let’s do the tourist trap thing and browse along waikiki…
decide on a whim to extend my stay… call up the airlines… ok it’s all fine to go… arrange for the hotel extension… i don’t need such a big room… it’s lonely inside this huge king bed on my own… i booked this to share with you… another of my foolish fancies? perhaps, but i am not ashamed, nor do i feel foolish, not anymore… i am glad i did it, i am glad i dared to love and express [...]
‘Troopergate’ inquiry hangs over campaign

Alaska’s former commissioner of public safety says Gov. Sarah Palin, John McCain’s pick to be vice president, personally talked with him on two occasions about a state trooper who was locked in a bitter custody battle with the governor’s sister.
In a phone conversation Friday night, Walt Monegan, who was Alaska’s top cop until Palin fired him July 11, told the Daily News that the governor also had e-mailed him two or three times about her ex-brother-in-law, Trooper Mike Wooten, though the e-mails didn’t mention Wooten by name.
Monegan claims his refusal to fire Wooten was a major reason that Palin dismissed him. Wooten had been suspended for five days previously, based largely on complaints that Palin’s family had initiated before Palin was governor.
The events [...]
